Nude – 17-10-15 (sold)

I liked doing the facets like a diamond in this one. It’s with a private collector now.

Nude – 07-10-15 (sold)

Nude – 03-09-15 (sold)

I particularly like this one because of the cubist quality of the abdomen muscles and the compositionary division of the negative space in big planes.
